Dread on Arrival is one of the Hemlock Falls Inn cozies, with the Quilliam sisters Sarah and Meg again managing their inn through a seasonal crisis. The case in this entry involves a local-history murder that connects back to a present-day inn guest's family inheritance, and Claudia Bishop runs the formula with appropriate affection.
The cooking material remains the series' strongest feature; Bishop has been writing the culinary-cozy form for nearly two decades by this point and the rhythms are settled. The upstate New York winter atmosphere is rendered with care.
Three stars. A reliable late-series cozy. Best for series readers.
